Jana Dunsbergen

Student Ministries Assistant

Born and raised in Iowa, Jana graduated from Central College in Pella, IA, with a degree in Business Management and minor in Communications. She and her husband, Kirk, have three teenage children (Lydia, Kaleb, Micah). They moved to Arkansas in 2005 and to Michigan in 2006. They began attending The Chapel because Jana was looking for an AWANA program for the kids. Once here, they began attending the Pathfinders ABF and "found our place to belong"!

Favorite Bible Character…that's a tough one, but probably Mary and Martha because I need a good balance of both of them.

I was born…yes... according to my kids, it was "ice ages" ago!

Life Verse…so many to choose from, but Phil 4:6-7 has helped me through many situations. "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

I have traveled to…all 50 states and many countries, including Romania with The Chapel in 2014.

Biggest pet peeve…I have a few...shh! The middle school parking lot and drivers that don't or can't follow directions.

What's on my bookshelf…books! and some dust...mostly Karen Kingsbury books.

My ideal vacation…somewhere that is sunny, has a beach, I don't have to cook or plan the meal, and my family is with me.

My idea of a perfect day…to sleep in, have quiet time, go to the beach with friends and/or family and a good book, dinner out with my family, and then a walk on the pier at sunset with my hubby!

If I had a different job…I wouldn't have this privilege of working with this wonderful staff that each have servant hearts and a desire to share the gospel and grow committed followers of Christ.

Nobody knows that…I like to make cheesecake (when I have time, of course)...well, a few of my guinea pigs know!

My childhood ambition was…to be a mommy!

Transforming experience…attending a Bible camp in northern California when I was in high school. Also becoming a wife and then a mother!

The Chapel is a growing church made up of individuals and families like you, who care for and support one another with the love of Jesus Christ. We are committed to teaching God's truth and applying it in our daily lives. We offer many ministries for children, students and adults, as well as two services each Sunday morning, which we'd love to have you attend. We hope that you will find The Chapel your place to belong.
